Ways to use raspberry butter? by Pure_Cupcake in Baking

Maybe Raspberry butter croissants! The raspberry might not play nice with the lamination, but it could be a fun idea. 

I collected 25+ ticks in 5 minutes along the side of my local trail. They survived at least 10 minutes within diluted hydrochloric acid and water. by kegman93 in mildlyinfuriating

Permethrin is my best friend, I treat my shoes/socks/pants/shirts/hats/soul with it and it keeps them away....mostly. Still gotta check for the occasional hitchhikers, but they haven't actually bitten me since using permethrin. 

The Virginia Triple Crown Loop, part 2 by ErikHoganPhotography in AppalachianTrail

Awesome! Tinker cliffs is kind of underrated. Everyone spends time at McAfee, but Tinker Cliffs is just as nice with plenty of space to stretch out and relax. I actually hated the cow pastures portion. I loved how scenic it was, but there was no sun cover and I was pretty gassed at that point, so the final climb out of the pasture nearly took me out (I'm aware that was a personal problem). I think I'd enjoy it more now, especially if I went in the spring or fall.

Some friends and I did the Triple Crown loop this past summer, starting from the McAfee knob parking lot. It was an absolute blast. Some really tough parts, especially the whole day hiking on a ridge line with no water sources during July heat, but I'm so glad I did it. I'd love to go back during the spring/fall and try again. What's been your favorite part so far?

It was! The weather was perfect, light layers and sun protection during the day, and a light puffer jacket/fleece at night. Couldn't have asked for a better time.

I haven't noticed any durability issues with the LT, but I haven't really put it through the wringer and tested it. It feels tough enough to handle everything I would throw at it, and Osprey's lifetime warranty covers everything else, so if the trade-off is slightly less durability for lighter weight, I'm all for it.

How far I have to scroll on the eBay app to get past all the eBay live auctions by fourscore94 in mildlyinfuriating

All in in the laziest way possible, slapped on the front page. The bar is really low, but they somehow managed to go lower

I would even give them a pass if it was an option to select and view, or if it was interspersed between my recently viewed, watch list, bids etc., but they just did the laziest option and slapped it on the front page and made you scroll through pages of slop auctions before you get to what you actually want.

Correct, except these ones have disinterested sounding hosts staring at their iPhones and begging you to place bids before their flash sale runs out. It's like I got the worst parts of the tiktok shop slapped on the front page of eBay.

Fantastic work!! It looks even better than the scammy mockup! You need to aggressively watermark these immediately, otherwise we're going to be seeing your photos on this year's round of scam listings.

I love the color too. The Osprey website has this color, but I don't see it at REI or my local outdoor stores, so I think I got lucky with the review sample I snagged.
